How customers use it

Address Structured Data Security Challenges

Problem

Data is dynamic, distributed, and in demand – and databases hold some of your organization’s most sensitive data. Native logging approaches to support security and compliance can be operationally complex, and don’t ensure data confidentiality.

Solution

Analyze Data and Gain Visibility

Problem

Because data is constantly changing, moving, and being accessed by new users, it can be difficult to understand what data you have, how it is being used, and if either of these things put you at risk from a security or compliance perspective.

Solution

Guardium automatically discovers critical data and uncovers risk, providing visibility into all transactions and protocols across platforms and users.

Adapt to Changing Environments and Requirements

Problem

Solution

Guardium seamlessly handles changes within your IT environment, enabling you to secure new data sources, expand your deployment, or add new users. This flexible, tiered approach allows you to reduce costs while protecting your most critical assets.
